Lunch And Learn

Calling all ladies who lunch: Mark your calendars for Feb. 24 at 11:30 a.m. for a whole new lunching experience. 

Head for the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach for one of the venue’s inspiring Lunch and Learn series events, where you’ll be served up much more than a tasty meal. This session features Aerin Lauder, the granddaughter of makeup mogul Estée Lauder and the style and image director of the Estée Lauder brand, who also launched Aerin, her own trendy line of beauty products, accessories and home furnishings. 

“If there are two words synonymous with the beauty business, they are Estée Lauder,” notes the Kravis website. “The formidable, forward-thinking woman launched her now world-famous fragrance and cosmetics company in 1953 – and in so doing single-handedly changed the industry.

“The Estée Lauder companies were always a family business, and now, Aerin … is making her indelible mark with her highly personal luxury lifestyle brand. Discover her story in this intriguing conversation.”

Although Lauder grew up in the shadow of her grandmother, she has forged her own identity while remembering her past, which included a childhood in Palm Beach.

When asked by Forbes what she loves most about the island, she had a ready answer: “The history. The memories. The elegance. And most of all, the beauty – even on a rainy day, you still look at the ocean, the beach and all the incredible homes on South Ocean Boulevard.”

No doubt her Kravis gig will include recollections of her grandmother, along with insights into Lauder’s sense of style, which she describes in her book “Beauty at Home.” O
